Roofing in Ferris, specifically
The Ferris roofing picture has its own character, and it shapes how we work here. Ferris sits in the metroplex’s Ellis County ring, where the roofing inventory reads differently than the inner suburbs, with more acreage and semi-rural properties, more metal roofing on homes as well as shops and outbuildings, and building departments whose permit requirements are often lighter than the big-city versions but still worth knowing cold. Crews route here on scheduled windows rather than same-hour dispatch, storm response covers structures the inner-ring never thinks about (barns, shops, carports), and the free inspection covers all of it in one documented visit.
Our crews work Ferris alongside Waxahachie, Ennis and Midlothian, so scheduling draws on the whole nearby footprint rather than a single route.

Hail near Ferris
Reported hail is less frequent around Ferris: NOAA lists 5 days since 2006 with hail one inch or larger within 4 miles. Fewer reports can also reflect fewer storm spotters in smaller communities, so a quiet record is not a guarantee. Hail that size was reported in 5 of the last 20 years. The largest stones on record nearby measured 1.5 inches (walnut size) on March 24, 2021. The most recent report: 1-inch hail on March 29, 2025.
